2019 KTM 300 XC-W TPI Guide

REVOLUTIONARY.

2019 KTM 300 XC-W TPI

With torque by the bucket load, a top-end that doesn’t quit, this fuel-injected 2-stroke is arguably the sharpest tool in the cross-country shed. Add to that a lightweight chassis ready to charge into any situation, the 300 XC-W TPI is the undisputed king of extreme enduro.

Thanks to a long history as part of the foundation of the company and with many milestones achieved in producing READY TO RACE, world-beating enduro machines, KTM’s strive for excellence has ensured the orange brand remains the market-leader in the segment with the KTM EXC line-up. Last year the Austrian manufacturer announced the world’s first serial-production, fuel-injection 2-stroke offroad competition machines with the KTM 250 EXC TPI and KTM 300 EXC TPI models that have taken the possibilities of enduro to new heights, whilst complimenting the high-quality, high-performing 4-stroke models within the range.

However, the KTM R&D department in Mattighofen never rests; the latest generation of KTM EXC enduros receive updates for model year 2019 with improved WP fork settings, and a reworked WP shock absorber with a re-designed main piston and settings for improved, confidence-inspiring damping characteristics. A new seat cover, stronger battery and new graphics with a READY TO RACE factory-looking orange frame compliment the high-quality Brembo brakes, No-Dirt footpegs, NEKEN handlebar, CNC milled hubs with high-end black Giant rims and more that comes as standard on these championship winning machines.

For model year 2019 the KTM 125 XC-W and KTM 150 XC-W 2-strokes, designed for closed-course use, receive a new cylinder with a machined exhaust port and a new power valve for high-end performance. An optimized kick-starter seat along with an ultra-compact, newly designed DS clutch with a new clutch cover reduces overall engine width over previous models. In addition, a re-worked 6-speed transmission offers better function and improved reliability.

To accompany the new KTM EXC model line-up is the KTM PowerWear collection. To suit up and ride to the limit, KTM offers a wide range of high-quality, high-performance riding gear for riders to state their stance while dealing with the toughest of terrain, along with a vast array of casual clothing to stay READY TO RACE even on non-dirtbiking days. In addition, from conception of each KTM enduro model our engineers, along with leading accessories manufacturers, have developed a large selection of KTM PowerParts for those wishing to individualize their machine whether it’s for aesthetics or refined performance to take their ride to new heights.

The KTM 300 XC-W TPI engine leads the field in offroad competition with innovative electronic fuel injection that sets a new standard in offroad 2-stroke racing. Its modern architecture includes high-end features, like the well-protected E-starter, a new cylinder with two injectors and a Twin-Valve Control power valve. A 6-speed enduro transmission and hydraulically operated DDS clutch transfer truckloads of tractable power to the back wheel.

Chassis

When it comes to 2-stroke weaponry, keeping the weight down is key. It should come as no surprise then that the KTM 300 XC-W TPI is one of the lightest, slimmest and most agile cross-country machines around.

Ergonomics & Comfort

KTM has exploited the knowledge from decades of race success to create perfect ergonomics on the 300 XC-W TPI, ensuring maximum rider comfort and movement in all conditions.

Bodywork & Graphics

KTM’s engineers, KISKA Design and the factory race team have all played a part in collaboratively shaping the plastics on the 2019 range. Featuring I-beam structures on the front and rear fenders for maximum stability and low weight, while a unique brake hose routing on the front number plate prevents unnecessary wear and tear.

Software & Electronics

Boasting a newly developed control unit with an all-new wiring harness and several individual sensors, the new KTM XC-W TPI models feature the most modern engine management system of any 2-stroke off-road motorcycle. Utilizing various sensor data such as intake and ambient air pressure, throttle valve position, water temperature, and an electronically controlled oil pump, the control unit works tirelessly to optimize ignition timing and fuel injection for perfectly smooth power delivery.
